    I don’t really keep up with this stuff, but from what I’ve heard, that’s why they had to spin off the LiveWire bikes into their own brand, the boomers flipped out over an grill-broke ELECTRIC Harley.

      Yeah that’s absolutely it. Bike no make potato sound, WOKE!!

      edit: it’s sad since the Livewire seems like a very good electric motorcycle, if exorbitantly expensive.

        “My bike has to be loud enough to make everybody within a mile of me look at me… for safety” - guy who took of his helmet as soon as he crossed the border into a state that doesn’t require you to wear one
